High Damping Rubber Bearings
High Damping Rubber Bearings are designed to provide exceptional seismic protection for critical infrastructure. Our advanced elastomeric compounds ensure superior energy dissipation, making them ideal for bridges, buildings, and industrial facilities in seismic zones.
Enhanced Protection with High Damping Rubber Bearings
Our High Damping Rubber Bearings utilise advanced elastomeric compounds to provide superior seismic isolation. They are engineered for both performance and ease of installation, making them ideal for a variety of infrastructure projects.
Features of Our High Damping Rubber Bearings
Suggested for all kinds of bridges and buildings
In these isolators, the re-centering capability comes from the rubber's inherent elasticity, while energy dissipation is provided by the specialized rubber compound's viscosity. HDRBs consist of alternating rubber and steel layers, creating a structure with high vertical stiffness but low horizontal stiffness. This unique configuration allows them to support substantial vertical loads while accommodating significant horizontal displacement. The rubber compound contains special additives that enhance energy dissipation when the material undergoes shear deformation during seismic events.
Maximizing Structural Safety Through Superior Performance
CECO's High Damping Rubber Bearings provide unmatched protection during seismic events, reducing structural acceleration by up to 80% while ensuring buildings maintain operational continuity when it matters most. With reliable performance throughout a structure's lifetime, these bearings have proven essential in real-world scenarios where protected facilities remained functional while neighboring structures suffered significant damage.
Hazard Protection
Safeguard against earthquakes, wind vibrations, and mechanical disturbances through advanced compounds that dissipate destructive forces.
Performance Reliability
Deliver consistent protection with well-defined characteristics that engineers can confidently incorporate into structural designs.
Specifications of Our High Damping Rubber Bearings
